VC++16 has decltype in Beta 1 (so Linq to C++0x looks a little nicer)

Updated 2011-10-31 – Major update based on boost range adaptors!!

A while ago I wrote up a little demo of using lambdas to implement convenient lazy list comprehension in C++0x, but at the time the VC++ compiler I was using lacked decltype, and I found a need for it.

No coding blog would be complete without an overly-simplistic salvo fired into this bloody online battlefield, so here’s mine.

What if you’re writing an application that will make heavy use of an RDBMS?
